Abdul’s life and legacy is not just something we remember today. His passion, work and determination to champion South Asian artists and improve access to the arts means his impact is still with us every day and continues to resonate through the sector.

Not only because we are reminded of what we lost, but also because it's hard to find a suitable way to pay tribute to the big hearted, passionate and talented man, who shared his infectious energy with everyone he met.

Today marks two years since we lost our former Artistic Director and dear friend Abdul Shayek.
